On March 10, 2003, just days before the American invasion of Iraq, anti-war protests were growing in the streets of London. It was the start of the Dixie Chicks Top of the World Tour, and between songs at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Chicks lead singer, Natalie Maines, told the audience she was against war and violence, too. The resulting backlash went waaaay down in history as the premier example of modern-day cancellation. This is the story of what happens when “free speech” gets tested by those touting god, guns, and country.
